Which Episodes Feature Tokyo Ghoul Kurona In The Anime?

I get that asking "which episodes" is often because you want to skip to the parts with Kurona, so here’s the practical take: Kurona (usually paired on-screen with her twin Nashiro) isn’t a constant throughout the first season of 'Tokyo Ghoul' but starts to show up more prominently toward the end of that season and then features more in the second season, 'Tokyo Ghoul √A'. After that, 'Tokyo Ghoul:re' covers a lot of the twins' aftermath and actually expands on their story — so if you’re hunting Kurona specifically, follow the thread from late Season 1 → '√A' → 're'.

I’ve done this before when I wanted to watch just the Kurona/Nashiro arc: I bookmarked episodes that had notes about Kanou, Oiran families, or the CCG conflicts, since those synopses usually mention the twins. If you want exact episode numbers fast, check a reliable episode guide or the 'Tokyo Ghoul' Wiki page for Kurona; it lists every anime episode she appears in and sometimes even timestamps the scenes. It’s the cleanest way to skip filler and watch only the bits where she matters, and it saved me from rewatching a whole season when I just wanted the twin plotline.

I’m a slow binge-watcher who often skips to characters I care about, and Kurona is one of those bittersweet side characters I always fast-forward to. She and Nashiro first begin to appear as part of the darker Kanou/experiment storyline, so you’ll notice them cropping up late in the original 'Tokyo Ghoul' season and getting more screen time in 'Tokyo Ghoul √A'. Their full arc and consequences are explored further in 'Tokyo Ghoul:re', where you’ll see more of their background and emotional beats.

If you want pinpoint accuracy, the fastest route I use is to open the 'Tokyo Ghoul' Wiki and look at Kurona’s page — it names the exact episodes she appears in. Streaming services sometimes include short episode summaries that mention key characters too, which helps when I’m trying to avoid rewatching entire seasons. Trust me, once you line up those episodes, watching the twins in sequence gives their small moments a much bigger impact.

I'm that kind of fan who gets oddly emotional over side characters, so Kurona's appearances are something I track whenever I rewatch 'Tokyo Ghoul'. She and her twin Nashiro are introduced as part of the Kanou/creation subplot, and in the anime their presence is mostly scattered across the later parts of the original series and more noticeably in the second season, 'Tokyo Ghoul √A', with even more development and screen time coming in 'Tokyo Ghoul:re'. If you're looking for a rewatch plan, watch the back half of season one for the setup, then keep an eye through the '√A' run where their roles are expanded, and finally the early-to-mid episodes of 'Tokyo Ghoul:re' which dig into their backstory and aftermath.

If you want exact episode-by-episode confirmation, two quick tricks work every time for me: (1) use the character pages on a fandom wiki like the 'Tokyo Ghoul' Wiki — they list episode appearances precisely, and (2) search for Kurona on your streaming service (Crunchyroll, Funimation), since many platforms include character credits or have episode descriptions that mention key characters. Personally, I like pausing the credits and checking episode titles when a character pops up; Kurona shows up in scenes tied to Kanou’s experiments and the twin dynamic, so those episode synopses are a good sign. Happy rewatching—her chemistry with Nashiro is small but oddly heartbreaking, and it totally improves when you catch all their scenes in sequence.
